I followed the GNOME Git account tutorial and now have a GNOME Git 
account that is approved for accessing GIMP. However, I don't see any 
mention of babl or GEGL. So I'm guessing that I can't set up "anyrgb" 
branches of babl/GEGL/GIMP for testing the code that I've written for 
editing using user-chosen colorants. But please let me know if I'm 
guessing incorrectly.

There has been a obvious lack of response to this thread and to my posts 
to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737778. So I'll just ask:

Is there any interest in allowing GIMP users to edit in color spaces 
other than sRGB? I mean for GIMP 2.10 rather than for "future GIMP"?

Best,
